As the richest man in Gotham and controls the world's top 100 companies, Thomas Wayne's influence cannot be ignored. Most of the celebrities who were invited to the charity party tonight came, and even those who couldn't make it made it to Thomas Wayne on the phone in person, and offered to send a sizable check to support the party's charity theme, such as the aforementioned Lex Luthor. As for those who decided to attend, they all came very punctually, and some even arrived early, and now they are ready to generously support brain disease aid organizations, giving enough face.

However, there are exceptions. For example, the two people who appeared in Rhaegara's sight at this moment.

When discussing how to secretly protect Thomas Wayne and the others, Rhaeggar, Ward, and Coulson made a good distribution. Ward, who is currently the most combative, is placed next to Thomas Wayne, with Coulson in charge of the center of the party and Rhaegar holding the entrance. This is not to say that they naively thought that the attack from the saber-toothed tiger and Wolverine side would be launched from the door, on the contrary, the door was basically the safest place. This is also Coulson's arrangement in order to take care of the wounded Rhaegar, who wanted to protest, but the one-to-five opposition was invalid, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Now that the party has officially started for half an hour, there are no more luxury cars coming and going outside the door, and the parking boys are also chatting idly, and Lega thinks that he will not see anyone come in through the door again, so he pays attention to the party scene inside. Unexpectedly, after a gentle commotion, a voice rang out at him from far and near.

"Rhaegar? It was quite unexpected. What are you doing here? ”

It was a female voice that Rhaegar had heard but was not very familiar with. Turning his head to look at the visitor, Rhaegar couldn't say that he didn't expect her to appear here, but he subconsciously ignored this scene that could have happened.

Stephanie Malik, Rhaegar's cousin to the 'body' now. She came as the heir to the Malik family.

To be honest, Rhaegar really didn't want to deal with anyone in the Malik family, more than Gideon, Stephanie. As far as he knew, although Gideon was more scheming, and although he had already said that he would find a suitable opportunity to get rid of Rhaeggar, the old guy also knew the rules of the game better. But Stephanie, with her innocent and natural expression and bright and beautiful smile, was a firm believer. Once she has determined something, she will definitely stick to it and will not compromise for the exchange of other interests. Therefore, if his identity is revealed, in the face of Gideon, Rhaegar may also arouse Gideon's curiosity and greed through some information that may or may not exist, so as to escape for the time being; But if Stephanie finds out that he is not actually Regga Malik himself, well, it will be a life-and-death situation, and the scene will be very ugly, not to mention, Rhaegar has to fall out with the Malik family, who are members of the Hydra Super Council, which is equivalent to jumping from Hydra, then he will not have a chance to get what he wants.

Of course, the feud with the Malik family still exists in the shadows, and Rhaegar is happy to keep it that way, so although he doesn't want to meet the Maliks, he won't hide from it. What really made him feel weird, disgusting, and even uneasy was the person who walked with Stephanie, nay, it should be said that when the two appeared in a rather intimate gesture holding hands.

"Honey, this is the cousin I mentioned to you, Rhaegar, Regamalik." Stephanie introduces both of them, "Rhaeggar, this is my boyfriend, Stark Industries' ......"

So, this person is not only Stephanie's plus-one, which translates to escort, wine companion or something, but his name is also on Thomas Wayne's guest list - Tony Stark.

With Bruce Wayne in cerebral palsy, Canterlot without Barry Allen, and Stark Industries as Hydra's biggest arms supplier, Rhaegar thought the world was bad enough. But the Iron Man himself in the current world has become the future son-in-law of one of the few top high-level leaders of Hydra here? Well, it's no longer enough to say 'terrible'!

Not to mention the political connotation behind Tony Stark and Stephanie Malik as a couple, after a simple greeting, Rhaegar finally saw Tony Stark's poisonous tongue attribute in person. After learning from Stephanie that Rhaegar had 'volunteered' to join Hydra's spy intelligence agency and start as an ordinary agent as a Malik, Stark changed more than a dozen adjectives in just five or six sentences, criticizing Rhaegar and his profession as useless. Now Rhaegar is even more glad that he made the decision to break with the Malik family in the first place, otherwise, let him meet this future 'cousin-in-law' from time to time, he is afraid that he will not live to be thirty years old!

P.S.: He's 29 now.

In addition to Stark's cynicism, what makes Rhaegar feel depressed is Stephanie's concern. So preconceived notions are important, and it is clear that this Malik heir has not done anything or said anything unpleasant about Rhaegar.

At the same time, Rhaegar is rejoicing that the current encounter is only a trivial episode. Both Stephanie and Stark knew they weren't here to 'chat' with Rhaeggar. Rhaegar breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them disappear into the crowd of parties.

"Skye, no situation yet?" He asked, looking into the in-ear communication device. He needed something to distract him from the hypocritical and unpleasant meeting he had just had.

"We saw a homeless man rummaging through the trash cans of the Gotham Hotel, four drunken men who seemed to be willing to gamble to see who dared to approach the hotel's main entrance, and two couples who looked enviously at the lights coming through the windows of the Grand Hotel. And then, no, we haven't found anything yet. I even hacked into the satellite that Wayne Enterprises launched two years ago, and watched the entire sky of Gotham! ”

"Well, you should have spoken directly to Thomas Wayne. I think he'll definitely lend you the right to use the satellite for the time being. You're addicted to hacking. Rhaegar replied half-jokingly.

Since Skye and the others were sure that there was no situation yet, Rhaegar could only continue to wait. The next hour or so was the slowest time for Rhaegar to feel since he traveled to this new world. It seems that the joint appearance of Stephanie and Stark still has a certain impact on him. At the very least, it made it a little difficult for him to concentrate, and it seemed to take away his patience. Fortunately, there were no accidents in the past hour or so, otherwise Rhaegar would have been to blame for the desertion.

Now that the charity party is coming to a close, Thomas Wayne is on stage to thank the guests for their generosity in raising more than $80 million for the brain disease charity. More than 80 million, tsk! Someone is going to be happy tonight.

It is worth mentioning that these more than 80 million miles alone account for the majority of Thomas Wayne, 50 million. Even if he is the richest man in Gotham, this time he took out 50 million after he sold a lot of property. For this reason, there have been discordant voices within the Wayne enterprise. Of course, this also reflects the depth of Wayne Sr.'s love for his son. Even if it is a brain disease charity that is not directly related to his son's situation but has something to do with his son's situation, he will sell it for half a billion dollars......

Well, what makes it even more pleasing to Rhaegar is that the attack they've been on their toes hasn't happened. It seems that the saber-toothed tiger and Wolverine have already stopped fighting, otherwise, the mutants would have missed at least two good times to attack. The party is probably a few minutes away from the official end, and if you miss the time for the guests to leave, the mutants won't have a chance.

Wait a minute?!

"Skye, and Fitz and Simmons!" Legar shouted. He suddenly thought of a possibility, so he immediately contacted several technical support upstairs. "Can you find a way to detect what's going on underground? For example, the vibration from the excavation or something. ”

Rhaegar's question made the team members stunned for a moment.

"Digging? Do you think it's possible for mutants to attack from underground? There's only so much time left for the party, well, at least not impossible. Simmons spoke first, "Anyway, it won't be too much of a shock, unless it's very, very close, or I doubt it will have any effect." ”

Immediately afterwards, Fitz also commented: "But if we can mobilize the system of the nearby Geological Monitoring Bureau, maybe we can try it." ”

Skye then picked up the words: "I'll leave this to me." I can hack into the server of the Geological Survey, and you will ...... then."

Before the words fell, a large shock suddenly came from under his feet, alarming everyone in the Gotham Grand Hotel from the ground floor to the top floor, including the guests at the party scene and Skye in a VIP room upstairs. At the same time, a powerful explosion was heard in the direction of the underground.

Oh, there's no need to go to the Geological Monitoring Bureau, and it's not a mining or excavation superpower for Regalia. That's the explosion, that's the mutants coming.
